InventWood
InventWood is a materials science company founded by Liangbing Hu of the University of Maryland.[1] The company plans to mass-produce Superwood that's stronger than steel for the construction industry.
InventWood raised $15 million in its Series A round led by the Grantham Foundation with participation from Baruch Future Ventures, Builders Vision, and Muus Climate Partners.[1][2] Liangbing Hu compresses cellulose until the fibers bond and then uses lignin to hold the cellulose in place. Superwood can be made using almost any kind of wood, including bamboo.[3] Superwood has a 50% greater tensile strength than steel, and a strength-to-weight ratio that is 10 times better than steel.[4]
